Alice's devotion to family was ever present... during my visits to see Auntie Renee at Adolorata, Alice would be there at her side joining in our conversation. Later, telephone conversations with Alice would always include some news of children, grandchildren or new babies to come. I'll miss our talks & the occasional greeting card, but am grateful for the many years God allowed her to be a part of my memories.

We are so sorry for your loss! Mrs R was a wonderful person and loved her family! I always enjoyed talking with her at family gatherings. May all the wonderful memories help your family at this time.

Mrs. Racansky was an inspiration to us all. She was so kind and generous to my children ("the Triplets" as she called them). I always felt she was genuinely as happy to see me as I was to see her. I remember meeting her for the first time when I was staying with the Racanskys for Mary and Pete's wedding. I felt welcomed and came to know well the love that was within those walls. I will miss her and her faithful Christmas card but we know that she is at peace, with nothing left unsaid. We will always be inspired to "Be Kind". Love, The Amoroso's

Mrs R very caring and a great person. I remember her yummy kolacheys which she gave me the recipe, but mine never turned out like hers. Her house always smelled great. Dinner, baking, bread. I'm sorry for your loss. Mrs R now you can crochet with my mom. You will be missed.
